In a split screen interview between the two, LeBlanc was asked by E!’s Jason Kennedy if he’s a GOT fan, to which the "Friends star replied," "I saw the first season and I kind of fell out of touch with it, and I guess that’s when she started getting naked, so I need to catch up."

Clarke, who has admitted to being a huge fan of LeBlanc in the past, took the joke gracefully, remarking that she never saw him naked on "Friends."

LeBlanc immediately received backlash on Twitter, with some calling him a "creepy uncle" and a "pig," while others called his comment disrespectful and awkward.

Videos of an an interview with Graham Norton a few months back show Clarke gushing about her admiration for LeBlanc, even convincing the star to ask her how she was doing – his signature pick-up line from "Friends."
